Last month, I took my Polaroid 250 (vintage 1968) to our Photo Alliance meeting. It was loaded with Type 664 (B&W, asa 100) and I had a box of M3 flashbulbs. While people were talking about color management issues (whatever that is) and comparing pixel strength, I made a couple snaps. A few jaws dropped, gasps of awe issued when I showed everyone the prints. "You just did that?" Yep, I just did that and there it is, fully developed, ready to go.
What a resource we have lost.
